EMDR in the Treatment of Eating Disorders developed by Pam Virdi
We are very happy that Pam Virdi has offered to be involved our regional CPD training , however we need to ensure we can offer enough participants for her to deliver this, and would be grateful if you would let us know if this is something you potentially would attend. It would consist of Four separate 2- hour Webinars on the Utilisation of EMDR in the Treatment of Eating Disorders developed by Pam Virdi.
A brief outline of the training ‘Eating Disorders are complex multifaceted conditions with physical, social and psychological ramifications. Obsessive concern about food, weight, and appearance, inappropriate eating behaviour and body image distortions are threads that run through anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. This series of seminars will provide participants with a roadmap for assessing, engaging and treating clients with eating difficulties in a safe, efficient and organised manner. The content is applicable to adults and teenagers.’
EMDR South West apologies for the technical issue that resulted in the workshop: EMDR and resources part two - how to store resources scheduled for the 16th July not going ahead. It has been rescheduled to the 30th July 3-5pm. The link is usually sent out on the day because otherwise someone has to individually go through and check who has registered and who needs the link sending out. We usually close the booking on the day and then send out the link to everyone who has booked.. For this event we are going to try to send out the link one time in advance and once again on the day.
It does not seem possible to put the link into the email that Eventbrite send out to confirm registration. The same is true when someone purchases the recording. It is difficult getting our head around all the technology but please rest assured you will receive the link for live events on the day and the link for recordings once one of us has had the time to pick up the email confirming you have paid and then send out the link - hopefully it will be the same day but there might be a slight delay.
Thank you for bearing with us. EMDR South West

the use of resources and constant assessment, differences between adult, child,
adolescent and young person resourcing.
Predominantly examining the client perspective. Developing knowledge
about the development of resources from a protocol or script and understanding
resources that can be discovered within the client, enhanced and put to use
during and between therapy sessions. The

The use of the EMDR Recent Traumatic Episode
Protocol (R-TEP) with intensive care
survivors experiencing Post Intensive
Care Syndrome
Presenter: Rachel Clarke, Accredited EMDR Consultant.
This workshop will cover: information on ICU related PTSD
including the role of delirium and how EMDR can be an effective intervention
and in particular the use of the R-TEP protocol with ICU COVID survivors. There is a limited evidence base in
connection with ICU related PTSD.
Clinical experience indicates that EMDR is an effective intervention
targeting images, thoughts, emotions, and physical sensation and enabling
reprocessing of memory that is often very disjointed and impacted by the
effects of critical illness, including delirium. Understanding how the RTEP protocol provides
an effective framework for processing these experiences, particularly given
that the episode can incorporate ongoing chronic health problems and a fear of
re-occurrence. Developing the
understanding of how relevant EMDR is with both ICU survivors in general and
with people who have experienced COVID in particular. Increasing EMDR practitioners’ confidence in
the skills they bring to this situation.
Date: Friday 16th July 3-5pm

Hi Everyone as some of you are aware we are looking to create our very own library! And I am very happy to be the new EMDR South West librarian! This might be a bit bumpy to start with, but hopefully we can iron out any difficulties as we go along! Okay, so in the first instance if you have a book or two you think you might like to add to our library mailing list than I will be collating the books ( The list will also be kept in the file section of the FB page) But please message me so I can create a list. I will update and regularly post what books are available to borrow. The borrower will need to pay all postage and this they can arrange together. Also if possible the borrower could make a donation to the association of £2
Post covid we might think of ways of dropping and picking books up? I could be the go between letting people know if the book is available and whom to contact and sending out friendly reminders if over due! Loan period, thinking around 8 weeks. But open to all thoughts and ideas ! Particularly on these practical issues!
This potentially has many layers! It allows people to read books they wouldn’t necessarily afford, t’s a great resource for learning about books members might not have heard of! It’s a nice community activity ! It’s a-bit of fundraising! We might get free books for members to review ( I will contact relevant publishers, just on the off chance!) Who doesn’t love books !

Justin Havens has asked us to circulate information about a webinar happening also on the 29th January - obviously the EMDR South west one is the most important however you can access this one via a recording: This webinar by the founder of the Flash Technique (Dr Phil Manfield) has been run several times in person and online, and Flash is a well established approach for use during EMDR preparation and desensitisation to reduce the SUD’s of intense traumatic memories. The webinar costs about £95 (its booked in US dollars) and includes 6 UK EMDR CPD points if you book the option with a quiz (the more expensive option $129).
The morning is recorded with myself providing Q and A support, and the US team joins for the live segment in the afternoon, which includes Dr Manfield working with challenging cases live.
To register, please use this link: https://flashtechnique.com/wp/product/january-29-2021-flash-technique-webinar-for-europe/
All handouts and access to the recording are available too.
